For whatever reason, I was obsessed with buying some nice soap while in Glenwood Springs. I found…read morethat at the Artist's Mercantile, but there's also much more. The main reason to head in is to view (and possibly purchase) all the fun artwork they showcase. Most of it seemed to be from local artists, and there was a huge variety... modern, country, landscapes, etc. If you're not in the market for a painting, you can also check out all the cards, handmade jewelry, and other little treasures they've got around the store. Finally, what makes a store? The service. The owner took a few minutes to talk to me about some of the local artists he showcases. Though I wasn't able to make a big purchase this time, I may well do so next time I'm around town.

We arrived at 11 AM and there were several people already there too; ready to paint. It seems that a lot of folks love this place because it is a creative and fun atmosphere.

It was truly an amazing, memorable morning - and we will be back!!

This is a really cool spot that I wish had more reviews. The owner is a very friendly older woman…read morewho is happy and eager to explain about the store's craft. Upstairs they have several large looks where they weave cloth that is cut and sewn into different items. For example, you can purchase oven mitts, napkins, table cloths, cosmetic bags, etc. Prices are what you would expect for local handmade goods. A napkin is about $7-9 and a dishcloth will run you about $18. The quality is very good. The rest of the store is filled with consignment goods from local artists.

I hadn't planned on buying any yarn but when I saw a cute already made hat, I couldn't resist.

This gift shop has some unique souvenirs, like personalized Crested Butte stuff, hand-carved bears, and cute hats, but everything is expensive! I was looking at some tiny journals for $20 and photo albums for $30, but decided I can get them for half the price anywhere else. Their motto is "If you can't find it here, we sold it yesterday." Now that can't possible be true. I still can't find my car keys, did they sell THAT yesterday? 1 star off: price 1 star off: they never had my car keys, liar

He said, haha, you're funny...but then proceeded to give me a free card. Very nice. Aside from the cards, they have a nice selection of tourist swag, and gag gifts, deluxe body care products, Colorado themed presents, christmas ornaments, and more. It's upstairs from Pooh's Corner, and easily missed, but don't, it's a nice shop with a GREAT card selection.
